  • I would love if this video also showed how was Afghanistan before the US invaded, because I have no baseline to understand if it was always like that or it became worse because of the withdraw of the international troops
  • @lmdonzo

    Thank you for making the video. It’s dangerous to come there. You all are brave
  • I'm praying for the fast recovery of Afghanistan 💗. From Philippines.
  • The country itself is beautiful. I wish to visit Afghanistan one day. I must say they’re strong people even though they have suffered for such long time and continue to suffer. I wish the best for this beautiful country and its people❤

  • @iceseic
    People seems to not realize even when America was there with 'legitimate' government, Afghan still cant stand for themself without nonstop international 'money help'
  • @nga88nguyen
    I hope Afghanistan would get through this time period and have a leader who truely care for the people. Our country also went through the same thing but we reflected on our shortcomings and change for the better. From Vietnam.
  • @rajrahman6440
    they should make this guy the foreign minister cause he is smart and has the right mindset
  • @WhoAmI-gg5gu
    When West freeze Afghans assets and at the same time blame them for their economic collapse. The reality is when they were running away, Afghanistan's economy was already at the brink of collapse.
  • Love and respect to Afghanistan women, mothers, and children. I pray that God will protect you all. Love from Papua New Guinea.
  • @elanar1086
    It's so heartbreaking to see those people suffering to just stay alive they deserve peace. I hope those who are the cause of this situation in Afghanistan will suffer soon

  • There's a beautiful documentary "Afghanistan Before the Russian Invasion (Documentary, 1979)" It shows these people's lives before all this war. I can't help but feel that we need to leave these people alone and let them live the way they have chosen to for all this time. They may have been poor, but they seemed happier than all of us.
  • After more than 20 years of war, and now internationally sanction that apply on them.... May Allah bless Afghan...amin
